Silicone O-Rings are also very chemical resitant but perform far better under sub-zero conditions not losing their shape.\u003cbr\u003eBy having the best of both worlds we're making sure there is twice as much sealing surface compared to other push in fittings on the market with just one.\u003cbr\u003eThis makes our fittings even more reliable and reduces the chance of a leak significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe double o-ring system also means that we can bend the hose with much tighter radius without causing leaking issues.  This typically can be an issue with other fittings.  This combination of factors makes duotight fittings the most reliable push fit fittings on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo clamps necessary! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe do recommend cutting your hosing straight, not on an angle, to ensure the line has a complete seal. To remove the fitting simply push in the collet and the hose can be removed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhat is EPDM?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEPDM = \u003cstrong\u003eEthylene Propylene Rubber\u003c\/strong\u003e which has excellent chemical resistance including being compatible with ozone, oils, wide variety of alkaline and acid compounds, water, alcohol, ketone and beverages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPDM is also resistant to aging, weather and will not perish easily like other rubber compounds.   When compared with silicone and vinyl EPDM has better gas transmission rates, better wear resistance, is BPA free and is the number one choice for many long lasting food grade applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Top Brew","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42225574019157,"sku":"9300000001211","price":5.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/8830\/3445\/files\/Screenshot2026-03-10153826.png?v=1773121177","url":"https:\/\/topbrew.com.au\/products\/duotight-9-5mm-3-8-female-x-1-2-female-thread","provider":"Top Brew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
